4.6 star rating We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That’s why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author’s experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.

Overview

Highlights

Immerse yourself in spectacular geothermal wonders
Kayak along Lake Rotomahana and past steaming cliffs
Chance to walk through the Waimangu Volcanic Valley

Get lost in a Jurassic-type world during this guided kayaking tour from Waimangu Valley. Paddle out onto Lake Rotomahana and be entranced by steaming cliffs, colourful landscapes and Mount Tarawera dominating the backdrop. If you arrive early, you can embark on a walk through the volcanic valley.

What's Included?

Guided kayaking tour
Kayaking and safety equipment
Safety briefing and instruction
Entrance to Waimangu reserve (for optional walk)

Meeting at Waimangu Volcanic Valley, you will travel down to the edge of Lake Rotomahana and be run through a safety and instructional briefing, before striking out into the serene waterways. It won't be long until you feel like you're in another world where steaming cliffs and colourful landscapes abound. Ogle at the steam rise slowly from the rocks as you paddle past, and take in the dominating Mt Tarawera in the backdrop. You'll also paddle over the fabled pink and white terraces that were buried in the 1886 eruption of Mt Tarawera. If you arrive early, you'll have the chance to wander through the Waimangu Volcanic Valley down to the water's edge.
